heaven help me...

I can't even believe I'm saying this, but... I think I'm going to sign up for het_bigbang. The stories aren't due until late August. The word count minimum, if I want artwork (and OMG I WANT ARTWORK!!!!) is 25,000 words. *looks at monster* *looks at 7k fic written in 3 days* If I write Hunger Games, I really don't think 25k will be a problem. BUT

What about Clove/Cato??

[sabaceanbabe]

I'm definitely not against Clove/Cato! I love them. But I've never really thought about writing them, since there are so many good authors out there already doing that. If you have any story ideas you'd like to throw at me, though, I'm open. :)

THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS I SECOND AND THIRD THIS MOTION ETC ETC ETC.

(I'm off the internets for three days, and of course this is the first comment I post.)

[sabaceanbabe]

BUT TO WRITE CLOVE/CATO, I NEED STORY IDEAS!!!! Heh.

(Dude. OMG. NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN! I had to WORK on Thursday and Friday! It was AWFUL! Just kidding. Maybe. As far as you know.)

Hmmm, let me think.

Finnick/Annie -- rewrite Mockingjay to give them a happy ending!

I would LOVE to see how you would tackle Haymitch/Effie and Katniss/Peeta post-Mockingjay.

I can't think of any real specific prompts. I'm just super-intrigued by anything that happens post-Mockingjay.

But I'm not sure I can support this undertaking if it prevents you from finishing Treading Water...... ;P

[sabaceanbabe]

Finnick/Annie -- rewrite Mockingjay to give them a happy ending!

Ha! That one's already in the works and has to wait until Treading Water is finished. Plus, if TW is any indication, I'll need longer than a couple/three months to write it.

The big bang challenge will definitely not interfere with me finishing TW. My head might explode if I don't get the rest of it out. :P

If you can think of any Haymitch/Effie or Katniss/Peeta things you'd like to see, a scene or bit of conversation, or whatever, let me know. TW came about, in part, because I was wondering one day what was happening with Annie while Finnick was in the arena. O_O

[rodlox]

any of those pairings would be good.

as to prompts...
* how the Capitol views things. (this might be best done from Effie's POV, but maybe not)

* I've heard of fics (and ficlets) which tell of {Character}'s life after their Games, or after the War destroys/enslaves/others the Capitol... but what about a fic where the Capitol won the War?

[sabaceanbabe]

Both of these prompts are good ones. I'm not sure I want to be in the appropriate head space long enough to write 25k of the second one, though. *meep*

[rodlox]

whatever you write, I will read. (it also motivates me to get reading the other books)

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I typed the second one. two possibilities:
a) more curiosity than anything else, wondering if you'd ever heard of that being written.
b) the principle more than the bunny: take a commonly-handled event or theme (ie the Capitol loosing), and flip it on its head.

Hummm.

* The story of the general awesomeness that is Mags. For me Mags/Woof is kind of a friend/semi-OTP thing. I have her as the 8th Games winner and him as the 9th. It's an OTP that can never really be, though, since they're from different districts and thus will only ever see each other during the Games.

* Reverse the Finnick/Annie dynamic. He's the slightly cracked one but still they make him mentor because the Capitol loves him so much. This could make Annie's Games rather interesting.
